That's gonna be a challenge Goose, no doubt about that. I wish ya luck brotha!

If it makes it all the way, it will definitely be one of a kind.

it will make it, he had it bending nicely this weekend I have all the confidence in the world.

Spent some time tonight thinning out the limbs and getting them to bend evenly. Thanks for the great tool to get the bow to brace height. I had a few scrap pieces so I whipped one out. I think it's bending much better than it was @ OJAM but I am by no means in a hurry.

Here's a sneak peak.

Hey i saw you there! Wow! That is really cool!

Goose Gossett · « **Reply #32 on:** March 25, 2011, 10:08:00 PM »

Did a bit of work today and now you can see @ 4 1/2" brace height the top limb doesn't want to track at the flip. No cracking and croaking so far.

razorsharptokill my ugly mug is kinda hard to forget... so says my wife. Hope you got a nice osage stave before they were all gone on Wednesday. They sure went fast!

Look good Goose, real good.

Holy Cow...that's going to be neat!!!!

Tradstick · « **Reply #36 on:** March 29, 2011, 04:33:00 PM »

Lookin good Goose, it is bending much better than at Ojam. I think that thing may just turn into a bow.
Did Will get his shooting?
You can't build bows in an area like the last picture, you have to have yeller dust and shavings piled high. Maybe thats only my shop.

Goose Gossett · « **Reply #37 on:** March 31, 2011, 10:29:00 PM »

Did some work on the holy bow today and had a buddy come along as well with his. My buddy and I were able to get his bow to brace height (I know there are some trials ahead with his).

On the holy bow we got it to a 6 1/2" brace height and it looks good. Way funky unstrung profile with all but the flipped tip on the holy limb being natural. I'm liking how it's turning out so far. Critiques welcomed!

ME LIKE!!!! Goose that sure is looking sweet, doing a great joy sir, congrats.
